2008 birthday bash:

Senate President led Deputy Speaker’s guests

Like in his previous birthday celebration, Deputy Speaker Eric Singson’s celebration was done simple but meaningful and array of top guests.

Heading the list of Singson’s birthday wishers was Senate President and close friend Manuel “Manny” Villar who squeezed from his busy schedule just to be able to greet personally the deputy speaker.

Others were former Ilocos Sur Gov Luis “Chavit” Singson, Ilocos Sur Gov. Deogracias Victor “DV” Savellano, Quezon City Congressman Vincent “Bingbong” Crisologo, Abra Gov. Eustaquio “Takit” Bersamin.

Different mayors all over the province led by his eldest son, Candon City Mayor Allen Singson with his wife Freda Luz and League of Municipalities of the Philippines- Ilocos Sur Chapter President Narvacan town Mayor Edgardo Zaragoza.

As traditional, it started with the Holy Mass led by Nueva Segovia Archbishop Ernesto Salgado assisted by other priest headed by Candon City Parish Priest Msgr. Vicente “Vet” Avila.

Villar in his message assured his full support to the deputy speaker’s projects and programs for the people of his district and the whole province.

The birthday celebrant in his short remarks expressed his full appreciation of the people who came to greet and join him in birthday bash.

Throngs of people all over the province came like in previous years to greet and enjoy his celebration.

Singson also distributed scholarship grants to deserving students, hand over checks to priority programs and projects to the different recipients.

The Deputy Speaker, once the youngest elected mayor in the region, serving his third consecutive term and seventh over-all as representative dating back to the Batasan days is acknowledged as the most loved and respected public servant in the district.

He is well-respected by his peers in Congress as he was able to get elected in his post and also in Northern Luzon as he is the incumbent President of the Northern Luzon Alliance, the association of representatives from Ilocos, Cordillera and Cagayan Regions.
